I was gonna invoke Newton’s Third Law of Motion,
but let’s try DougM’s Third Law of Politics:For every legislative action, there is a larger and unexpected reaction or result
(a special-application law under the Law of Unintended Consequences).

I’d like to see some of these commie thugs defaced.
(What? Oh, yeah, figuratively… definitely… for now.)

“an extremely militant group that advocates for the violent redistribution of property” and for “the abolition of gender.”
They’ll be well served when they attack a seemingly non- militant citizen who redistributes their anatomy and abolishes their gender with a bullet to the balls.

^4: Not Wiseguys per se, though I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an Escalade parked nearby with two or three “concerned citizens” willing to take part in a “frank and open discussion” as to why defacing a Christopher Columbus statue might result in long-term damage to one’s kneecaps.

I also understand that NYPD had to turn away a large number of Italian-American officers who volunteered for the duty as they were over-staffed.
